H&M Fathers Day video

[Bickybics]

So they are showing faces now, how long until they are including them in everything, showing them fully.
I feel like this is a bit desperate now. It was their last card to play, the children. They’re trying anything now for attention, what do they have left, showing private videos of them after all the criticism about the Wales children being on display.
One thing about them is they always surprise me.

@My2cents1975 Agreed. I'm concerned with national politics, protests. and local elections. Will I have a job, will the food chain be disrupted by tariffs. Will I be able to collect social security when I retire. Reading about H & M is like reading about the last days of the French court at Versailles.

How old would people say Archie and Lili are in the later years of the videos?

Thank you @AtIusvue This the DM take - I think yours is more incisive 👏and a well earned for when the sun is over the yardarm.

@My2cents1975 I think a lot of people in the UK do not understand just how non-existent H&M are in the US celebrity landscape. That would be me - I've just assumed they get a fair amount of press coverage.

The grandparents antiques business reference, is a new route for Megs into sharing (selling) homeware and interior design elevated brain farts. This is also a saturated market.

Agreed and as @BemusedAmerican has said, people have far more pressing things to spend money on (or put aside) than overpriced jam or whatever interior design slant she is contemplating merching.

Isn't there a belief that when the economy is bad/times uncertain, a sure fire seller is lipstick? Relatively cheap, morale boost, lasts a while. If the next idea is that, she IS reading this sub and I want a cut! Will share.😂

Actually I think it’s European. I first came across it on the website Royaldish, which was like Tattle Life, but dedicating to “dishing” (I.e. hating, as various MN posters would describe it) on European royal family members. Then Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was their particular target. Anyone who was positively disposed to her, or any other royal family member, was dismissed as a “Sugar”.

Frederik of Denmark and Mary have been married for 20-plus years now, so this was long before Meghan even entered public view.

Lili looks bigger than Archie when they are crawling on his lap. The whole thing is very odd.

But still people talk about her.
seek her out

There's no need to "seek her out". The level of self promotion and desire to be noticed means that she's attracting the clicks and the headlines, so she's naturally very high profile. She's driven by this.
I can't imagine someone thinking "I wonder what Meghan is up to?". She'll have put all the details out there.

Indeed.

Not if she and her husband faded way from the spotlight. People would have had far more respect for them if they did. But as we all know attention is the very air they breathe

H is barely a C-list curiosity. M has no other footprint than being H's plus one for those that even recognise her. If you watch mainstream TV, you literally will not hear of either H or M. On social media, it is even worse as the internet is over-saturated with influencers.

This is why H&M spend an insane amount on buying press in celebrity magazines like People magazine, even paying for People reporters to accompany them on their "grifters getaways" to Nigeria and Colombia. H&M field a football team of comms people to aggressively operate on social media to exaggerate their reach and of course attack H's family of origin.

They're also giving stories to the Daily Mail, and I suspect any other tabloid or trashy mag they can hawk to. Desperate.

Hardly! You need to watch both series of 'Marie Antionette' and I think you'd revise your opinion of anything that has gone on being remotely like Court of Versailles! Even taking into account our Royal Family and what's gone on over decades. Do watch it if you get a chance, I was totally hooked! Beautifully portrayed

• No more COAFF podcast
• 6 staff recently left, with the potential for more to go
• NF deal over. Complete avoidance of Meghan talking about Archewell productions even when asked on the podcast. She says her focus is all on her family and As Ever.
• Reduced to using her kids to create viral moments to help out her business ‘drops’

Things really aren’t going well.

The selling out of her stock - this is a fast fashion technique, see what's sells before going into high production. First sales will be from connections who are helping to boost the hype.

They need to make a living, she does come across as a hard worker and studious, I expect she learns how industries work, but she doesn't have genuine passion, other than for jam.

She did talk about make up and fashion in the interview as she said so many thought that would be a path for her but she has to be involved at all levels. It's her stirring the jam at home - my arse it is. As for fashion and styles Emma was immaculately groomed. I bet Meghan was thinking why didn't I wear my light colours. 😂

Very clear differences between the two women. Emma was articulate, knowledgeable, interesting and authentic. Meghan was dull and winging it. At times she looked like she'd rather not be there. Starting to feel slightly sorry for her (not sure why). It must be stressful to be married to a lazy boring man.

I think she’s equally boring. Imagine listening to word salad all day.

California has been under a drought watch for years. They also have major yearly wildfires. Yet H& M live in a house with 16 bathrooms. They have extensive grounds planted with non- native, water intensive plants. The central air for the enormous house uses up an equally enormous amount of energy. They drive every where or use private jets. They seem to be oblivious to ecological problems in CA unless they can take photos among the smoldering ruins.

5 million Americans, many veterans, who have a high rate of poverty and homelessness in the US, marched on No Kings Day. In the meantime Harry was lecturing vets in Germany and Meghan is hitting people over the head with the HRH title bullshit.

Might I add that any financial problems are their own fault. If someone left ME $30 million, I would read a few books, hire a financial planner, and live sensibly.

The rest of us are reviewing protocols about what to do if ICE shows up at our job or while we are at a store.

You wouldn't have to live that sensibly. £30m is a lot of money.

£30m is a lot if you live like an upper middle class professional family with income in the $250K to $750K range.

£30m is flat broke if you are trying to keep up with the billionaire private jet class.

They are two lazy, boring people. Despite what she says about liking hard work, I believe she’d much rather be doing nothing (except socialise with the top tier of ‘society’ while the big bucks just passively rolls in just for being Meghan). She doesn’t genuinly seem like a sleeves rolled up and boots on the ground type to me. Podcasts, lifestyle shows, jam, all a pesky chore in my opinion.

The podcast has thousands of comments, the bulk of which are pointing out all the incosistencies and the lack of humility and humour in MM, Commenters pointing out that negative comments are being deleted like crazy, obviously they can't keep up with the deleting as there are almost 5,000 comments with 99% negative.

Meghan claiming she is authentic multiple times during the podcast seems to be getting a few laughs.

Its good Meghan is doing these interviews, it really shows exactly who she is and why she is so unlikeable.

This is funny😂

When will Meghan remember her husband’s name. It’s been 7 years.

Markle wants people to tell the truth? They did. She didn’t like it.

Sorry for the slight derail, but has anyone seen this about Tyler Perry? It claims Derek Dixon was sexually harassed and assaulted by Perry. I cant see anything in the news about it. Can anyone help verify its authenticity?
